+ You can also select sounds (“Tones”) via MIDI by transmit-
ting so-called “Program Change” messages on the selected
MIDI channel.

You can connect the RD-100 to a MIDi sequencer and
record your performances with that sequencer. It goes
without saying that these data can also be played back.
If the sequencer’s (Soft) THRU (or MIDI Echo) func-
tion is turned on, the notes you record will be retrans-
mitted right away to the RD-100 and thus played a sec-
ond time. This happens because the keyboard informa-
tion reaches the sound generator via two different routes
(1) and (2). This makes the performance sound strange,
and greatly reduces the number of available voices. To
resolve this, we can disable route (1) by setting the
RD-100 to LOCAL OFF.

The Local on/off setting you make here is retained until
the piano is switched off.
* When neither MIDI connector of the RD-100 is connected to
an external instrument, you cannot select Local Off.
+ A MIDI sequencer is a device that records performance data
in the form of MIDI messages, then plays it back. Roland
offers the MC-80, MC-S0MkI, and MT-300/MT-300S. The
latter combine both a sequencer and sound module.
The Local function can also be set using so-called “MIDI
Local Control” messages. When the piano is set up with
an MT-80/120/300, a Local Off message is transmitted as
soon as you switch on the MT. This only works if you
first switch on the MT, and then the RD-100.
